Therefore, it is not possible to access SMART data of individual drives via the official ioctls, SMART_RCV_DRIVE_DATA/SEND_DRIVE_CMD.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. What is the full command that I should give for getting smart readings off a SATA hdd under Windows XP (with SP2) environment? I am a new user to SATA and SMART under Windows. Hoping for a help on the same!!

I am a new user to SATA and SMART under Windows. If the SATA hdd is the first disk, try smartctl -i hda to get drive identification. If this works, try smartctl -a hda to get all info. If any problem occurs, please send output of smartctl -r ioctl,2 -i hda and info from Device Manager which SATA driver is used. Christian |
